Kintana Script : List Request Field Information

Purpose

You're interested in a KCRT_REQUEST_DETAILS parameter.
Now you need to identify the field stored in this parameter.

The time honoured way to locate the field information is to open the
request object at the Field tab, open fields, and pull open their
storage attribute tab, hoping that if they were generally implemented
in batch number and parameter order, you will eventually strike paydirt.

Or you could run this script.

Tested

With HP PPM (Project and Portfolio Management) Kintana v6.0.

Usage

Paste the script into SQL Runner

Change the 'and crt.request_type_name' request type name or comment it out.

Omit the comment, spool, and linesize statements unless you're using a PL-SQL editor.
SQL Runner only supports select statements and you'll get a KNTA-10648 error.
If using PL-SQL change 'yyyymmdd' in the output file name to today's date.

-- List Request field information
spool c:\request_field_info_yyyymmdd.txt
set linesize 1000

select crt.request_type_id, crt.request_type_name,
       ns.section_id, nsl.section_type_code, ns.section_name,
       npsf.prompt, npsf.parameter_token,
       npsf.batch_number, npsf.parameter_column_number
from KNTA_SECTION_LAYOUTS nsl, KCRT_REQUEST_TYPES crt,
     KNTA_SECTIONS ns, KNTA_PARAMETER_SET_FIELDS npsf
where crt.enabled_flag = 'Y'
  and nsl.entity_primary_key = crt.request_type_id
  and nsl.section_id = ns.section_id
  and nsl.section_id = npsf.section_id

  -- limit to a single request type. Comment out to list all request types

  and crt.request_type_name = 'Inventory Restock Request'
  order by

-- to locate field by parameter and batch number

 npsf.batch_number, npsf.parameter_column_number

-- OR
-- to list fields in visual order of appearance on the request

 -- nsl.entity_primary_key, nsl.seq, npsf.row_number, npsf.column_number
